A postcard from Amanda. It is another state I needed to cross off my list. It kind of suits the stereotypes, huh? Dairy cows are a common sight up here, too. It just looks kind of peaceful. Here is the stamp:

The delightful Care mistakenly spent her anniversary in the wrong part of Canada; but she at least was nice enough to think of me and send me a card! I love Niagara Falls so I suppose I can understand why someone would want to take an anniversary trip there. Isn't it gorgeous? When I graduated from university I treated myself to a trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto. I can't wait to visit again someday!

A postcard from Malaysia! Very cool! I think it is a good representation of what they have going on. It was received through postcrossing. I am really enjoying receiving all the different cards. I think this is my first postcard from Malaysia. I am not positive, though. I haven't organized my cards in a while...

This cute postcard came in one of my Christmas cards from MsBookish. She is a fellow blogger that I have gotten to know recently through Twitter. She likes books and postcards, so I was delighted she sent me a postcard with my card. So delighted that I might have bought the set because I enjoy them so much! Thanks Belle!

This postcard is from a postcrosser in Thailand. I have a few postcards from there because my mother was on a cruise, but this is the first one someone has mailed from there. I was excited! The postcrosser mentions that it is winter there, but still warm. It is not warm here!

Another postcard that a nice Postcrossing person sent me when I messaged them mentioning I still needed the state. It is a great postcard for me, too. I love lighthouses! It is the Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse. It was built in 1886. Here are the stamps that were included:

A postcrosser in Poland sent me this drawing as a postcard. I have to admit I have mixed feelings about not actually receiving an actual postcard, but that's not to say that I don't like it... As I said, it is a mixed bag! I am still including on here because it was received through postcrossing.

About Me

Since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with books. Early photos show me with a book in hand, even if it was not exactly my reading level... My first word was a made-up word meaning 'book', actually. I suppose I had my priorities at an early age... Over the years my interest in books has become one of the defining features of who I am as a person. You can probably call me a bookworm. While I have other interests, reading will always be the one I talk about the most, even if I am not focusing on it as much as I used to.
